PROPOSAL TO BUILD 428 FOOT NEMA MIAMI APARTMENT TOWER SUBMITTED NEAR MIDTOWN MIAMI

Developer Crescent Heights appears to be planning a new apartment tower called Nema Miami, according to an application filed with the Federal Aviation Administration.

The FAA application was filed on January 29.

It calls for a tower height of 428 feet above ground, or 441 feet above sea level.

Construction is estimated to begin in January 2021.

The project site is listed as 2900 Biscayne Boulevard in the Edgewater and Midtown Miami area.

Nema is the high-end rental apartment brand for Crescent Heights. There are other Nema buildings in Boston, San Francisco, and Chicago.

BIGGEST SUPERMARKET IN MIAMI’S URBAN CORE PLANNED BY CRESCENT HEIGHTS NEAR MIDTOWN, ALONG WITH HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS

Miami’s urban core could be getting its biggest supermarket, along with multiple towers that have hundreds of residential units, according to newly filed documents.

Crescent Heights has submitted plat documents to Miami-Dade County to allow for the redevelopment of the 2900 and 3000 block of Biscayne Boulevard.

The development would be split into two tracts.

Tract A will be closer to Midtown Miami, along NE 2nd Avenue. It will be developed with 400 residential units, 71,540 square feet of office, 32,450 square feet of commercial space used for a fitness club, and 11,100 square feet of retail.

The large supermarket will be part of Tract B, with Biscayne Boulevard frontage. There will be 58,826 square feet of grocery, along with 443 residential units.

By comparison, the nearby Publix at 18th and Biscayne is 49,000 square feet.

A new supermarket is likely to do well in the area, which has thousands of new residential units either under construction or newly completed. Nearby Publix, Whole Foods and Target stores are normally crowded with shoppers.

Crescent Heights recently filed with the FAA to build a 428-foot tower on the property called Nema.

Arquitectonica is the architect.

Russell Galbut’s Crescent Heights scores $224M loan for Whole Foods-anchored Edgewater project

Construction is underway at Crescent Heights’ Whole Foods-anchored luxury apartment tower in Edgewater, after the developer secured a major construction loan.

Miami-based Crescent Heights, led by Sonny Kahn, Russell Galbut and Bruce Menin, closed on a $224 million loan from Blackstone, according to a spokesperson for the developer. The mixed-use development, called Nema Miami, is planned for 2900 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami.

FAA Permits Filed For Three Tower Cranes At The Site Of 39-Story Nema Miami In Edgewater

Permit applications have been filed with the Federal Aviation Administration for three tower cranes at the development site for Nema Miami, a 39-story mixed-use project in the works at 2900 Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater, Miami. The development is the first of two phases being administered by Miami-based developer Crescent Heights, which is expected to yield nearly 943,000 square feet of space including 588 apartments, over 50,000 square feet of commercial space anchored by Whole Foods, and as many as 748 parking spots within a 428-foot-tall building. Nema Miami is designed by Arquitectonica with ODP Architecture & Design as the architect of record and New York-based Rockwell Group is handling interiors.

These tower cranes would assist in the vertical construction stages of the 428-foot-tall tower. Two of the three cranes would be erected on the southern frontage of the 2-acre site; one of 536-feet on the corner of Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 29th Street, and the other of 574-feet on the corner with Northeast 2nd Court. The third and shorter tower crane is planned to be assembled on the north side of the property at 216-feet. There is reportedly already a tower crane assembled on-site. It is unclear if that crane is related to the recent filings, or from a separate permit filing. Note, permits for vertical construction are still pending according to the Department of Buildings, which remains under review by private provider Absolute Civil Eng-Plans Review and Inspections.

According to the Commercial Observer, financing for the project came from The Blackstone Group, which includes a $179 million senior mortgage, according to property records, as well as a $45 million mezzanine loan, bringing the total debt to $224 million.

A second phase at Nema Miami is planned to bring another tower of similar heights with another 400 apartments a block over from phase one. Vertical construction for phase one is likely to commence over the summer. Completion is expected in 2024. Stiles Corporation is the general contractor.

The green wall and tiled mural along the base are nice, but yes, agree that the tower design is far inferior to the glassy, undulating rendering from 2020.
